Beautiful summer day, June 13. I'm lounging in the garden, listening to the waterfall, watching birds and soaking in the gloriousness of the moment. Muse struck, perhaps carried on the gentle breeze, emitted from the Bleeding Heart delicately growing alongside the foot bridge, or maybe she reflected off the water when sweet Chickadees jumped in for a bath. Here's what she whispered....
Shine

Enlightenment--
one’s ability to bless,
seems a hope far in the future,
so we search and strive….
What if we, create awakened moments,
became Lotus,
push toward light, grow up and out,
not in spite of mud,
but because mud is our substance?
Earth as our witness,
when binding ropes break away
what is revealed beneath the cracked layers
is Golden Buddha,
shining.

Next Saturday, June 20, we will practice "Shining" in community from 8:00-11:00am during our Summer Mindfulness Retreat, a rare opportunity to come together for the sole purpose of nourishing ourselves and our loved ones. Most looking forward to sitting with you, walking with you and soaking up beauty.
